[Launchpad Bug Tracker <804821@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package gdm - 3.0.4-0ubuntu10

---------------
gdm (3.0.4-0ubuntu10) oneiric; urgency=low

  * debian/gdm.prerm: Stop asking for <dm>/daemon_name debconf question, it
    does not exist for lightdm and is not really necessary. Fixes prerm error
    and confusing debconf prompts when removing gdm. (LP: #804821)

Title:
  gdm fails to remove if gdm is the default display manager (and another
  dm is installed)

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gdm” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  TEST CASE:
  1. install gdm and lightdm
  2. Set gdm as default greeter
    $ dpkg-reconfigure gdm
    and select gdm
  3. Remove gdm
    $ apt-get remove --purge gdm

  Result:
  gdm prerm script failed with exit status 10, then debconf prompt for the default display manager

  Expected
  debconf prompt is shown _before_ removing gdm and gdm removal only fails if there is no other choice than gdm
